Proof. Induct on unnormalized branch states. Complete instruments include all outcomes and preserve total probability when summed. Input-independent random setting selection is included in the history or aligned by the same seed.
For the test,
The maximum of is total variation, attained by the indicator of outcomes where . Identical independent repeated-run laws have identical product laws. More generally, the same conclusion holds whenever the complete joint repeated-run laws are equal.
